The contents of that file should be [Variables] GNC_DATA_HOME=c:\users\butte\dropbox\gnucash You were probably only missing the "Variables" group header. A few suggestions however: 1. I presume your data file is also in c:\users\butte\dropbox\gnucash ? In that case it would be better to make a subdirectory for the gnucash meta data (it can simply be c:\users\butte\dropbox\gnucash\data) and point GNC_DATA_HOME to that. So the line in environment.local would become GNC_DATA_HOME=c:\users\butte\dropbox\gnucash\data 2. Besides GNC_DATA_HOME there is also directory GNC_CONFIG_HOME. On Windows this special variable typically points to the same location. So if you want to relocate the former, you probably also want to relocate the latter. For that add a second line in environment.local with the following GNC_CONFIG_HOME=c:\users\butte\dropbox\gnucash\data Regards, Geert > > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-user mailing list > gnucash-user@gnucash.org > To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
